True story: after slogging through my first ever Stephen King book (not bad but does it have to be so long?) I am kinda taking a break from books by white dudes. Does this make me prejudiced or just diverse in my choices? Could go either way. #amreading

This story was turned into a podcast at No Extra Words by the wonderful @noextrawords. The first time (and the last, as of this moment) that my work has been featured in an audio format.

I had just turned 24. I was trying to stay sober, living on $200 a week and was so incapable of taking care of myself that I hadn't seen a dentist in 6 years. It was a deeply sad experience AND a decision I never once regretted. 1 in 4. #youknowme

My kid now really thinks I've made it getting to interview @adhdessentials! He's been on Youtube with his Wall of Awful on @HowtoADHD AND he's interviewed Dav Pilkey of Captain Underpants fame. :) auroraremember.com/episode-0…

In celebration of #NationalHaikuPoetryDay, how about another shout out to our #WSFHaiku contest winner @siri_soleil! Their poem will be on the cover of our Summer 2019 Sailing Schedule:
Warm pink rays of light
Reflect on shimmering sea
We watch the sun rise

When you let the small child play with your bookmark so you get a few extra minutes to eat breakfast. I can always find my place again later, right? #amreading

Hey, #WritingCommunity at the age of 40 after trying to write prose for decades I am suddenly writing #poetry. Other than that there's no money in it and it's hard to get anyone to read it, advice for a would-be poet?
